Late summer night chill
Silent messengers gather
Flies on the screendoor

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fruits of fall labor,
A caul of earth still clinging
to spring daffodils

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hands clap a white cloud.
Old woman’s flour smudged nose
smells the loaves baking.

In the beginning,
Creation embarks.
God's glory declared.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why did God tarry
After each day the full night?
He paused to admire.

Delicious Petroclus!!



Sher, Did you intend for your first haiku to be a 5-5-5? :teeth:

Not that I am a big stickler for RULES! :lol:

In the beginning
The Lord's creation embarks
God's glory declared.

I’ve discovered peace.
Radiant, her beauty heals my heart.
Answers come and go.




IRA 2

I whisper the truth,
Racing mind and heart and soul,
And she smiles, naive.

Sherbear,

Very nice! :smile:

Renewal

God unzips the sky
Cool raindrops fall rhythmically
baptizing the earth.

His Grace

Apple tree growing
between Christians and Skeptics
Fruit falls in both yards

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Supplication

Soft voices inside
synagogue, church, mosque, temple
All praying for peace

Woman, these two sound somewhat universalist... Do you believe God's grace is given to all people? Or am I misreading your poetry? :)

Right Idea

No, you have not misread my poetry. I hope my personal beliefs won't prevent you from enjoying them for their own sake.

Universalist?
Well, just one universal
truth...and that is Love
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I guess it's the coming war which has me feeling philosophical and tender-hearted toward all of creation.

Well, that's okay, we have a couple of non-Christians around here, somewhere. Flipper is a flaming atheist (and an aquaintance of mine and my ministry). Welcome!

Yes, I'm pleasantly godless.

Great Haiku reading,
While I sit here devouring
Hotdogs and cheez-its.

Wrote these tonight, over the last half hour...

Kaleidoscope smile
Into which pours pure sunlight
I read by her glow


Kimono's flower
Is the way she compliments
My life decorates


Keepsakes of our times
Infinite memories sting
Much value in pain


Kiln of warm friendship
Important to regain trust
Months die fast and hard


Key to happiness
It might reside in her heart
Much risk seeking it

Sinusitis pain
The microscopic villains
Are all in my head!

Get in the shower
Rub sleep from my sleepy eyes
